Sample Course Plans for five-year completion

Student progress through the Clinical Psychology program at Augsburg University is intended to be sequential.  Certain courses offered to first-year students are designed to provide a theoretical and practical foundation for courses that follow in subsequent years. In addition, certain advanced courses require the student to have the background of more basic courses in order to benefit fully from the course experience.

The following are TWO sample schedules with 5 years to completion.  Courses and sequence may vary by individual student experience.  ALWAYS consult with your advisor for questions!
